OK, I get u then. Until now, d Atheism idea has never been clear to me. But maybe I am seeing it from a new pair of spectacles. It still puzzles me how one will not believe in any God. D issue I hv with d idea is that by leaving ur mind blank, u expose it to so much mysteries. D Western world r suffering from this as their freedom from religion is pushing them to perversion. Debasing things like homosexualism, nudity and more hv crept in on them.
First, ones mind is not blank just because one stops believing in gods.

Second, those western world have actually decided that it does not matter if they wash their hands or observe the Sabbath or wear a hijab or not. What's more important is to love ones neighbour whether they are jews, muslims, pagans, atheists, or homosexuals. You would really have to work hard to starve on the streets of London, and no hospital will ask how much you got before they treat your illness. The schools are great too and there is always electric and water. And they donate more to charity and countries in need than Nigeria does!

The law still throws your ass in jail for theft and paedophilia!

Op, for your sake and the sake of your beliefs leave atheists alone. Their logic and intellectual acumen and ability to argue brilliantly will make you question your belief in God.
Those atheist use jujuwords. Very powerful indeed.

I don’t believe in hell either. I certainly don’t believe that eternal torment is the appropriate punishment for any finite crime, unlike the author of Revelation who thinks every person who has ever told a lie deserves to be burned alive for ever and ever and ever. Billions of billions of billions of years times infinity. That’s not right.

where on earth, will he get the stats? How many people are willing to identity themselves as an atheist. And I do not think postmortem can also indicate atheism as the cause of the death. The only evidence the dude can use is the list of prominent people that are actually atheist(well known)and this llist is available online.
If he can't provide stats why make the statement in the first place? Surely the statement must be based on some sort of evidence!

Provide evidence or don't lie!

What's your take on freedom, dont you think that as humans, we can do better than taking freedom from groups of persons who broke laws that were created by other men. Its like ending the one life they have, don't you think we can do better?

I can confirm this to be true cuz I use juju words given to me by the God of atheism which I sacrifice babies to under instructions from our high priest Richard Dawkins. I venerate Saint Christopher Hitchens also and worship Sam Harris (my house is filled with his posters)

i am not changing the topic bro. i am only letting you know that both wiki and conservapedia are both subjected to the same standard of citations. yes it is not reliable just like wikipedia.
Not true vaxx. Conservapedia is not subject to stringent peer review and only allow edits that fit in with their fundamental biblical view. Wikipedia requires citations from credible sources and it is peer reviewed. The peers and citation on Conservapedia suck.

pagan is different from atheist . pagan is a coined name given to dose who do not subscribe to abrahimic god idea. i am one. it actually mean illiterate or uncivilized. for example, the traditionalist are pagan to the Christian.

Vaxx go through this


https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5a2a902ee4b022ec613b812b/amp

That's an article by a very vocal atheist.

And this


https://amp.reddit.com/r/atheism/comments/2iq290/without_god_i_feel_suicide_makes_logical_sense/

Check the comments from atheists there.
First article says believers bully atheist and push them to suicide!

Interestingly enough, one of those reasons is religious believers themselves. We live in a world dominated by people who often fervently believe ancient superstitions and who many times demonize, harass, ostracize, and disown those who lack belief in those ancient superstitions. Atheists on the receiving end of this treatment are understandably stressed and isolated. They often experience anxiety and depression as a result.


And the top comment from the second expresses my sentiments:

No, didn't know one of the owners of wiki was an atheist.

The standard here is objectivity. Cons lacks objectivity. Just read the wiki section on Christianity, to see what I mean by objectivity. Though wiki might be owned by an atheist, he does not get to use wiki to shove his atheism down ones throat. Can't say the same about the section on Christianity on cons, and their section on atheism is pure Christian fundamentalist propaganda.

But, as you have and I have not resolved our issues with subjectivity and objectivity, I doubt you'd agree.

i have given evidence on this issue here, you can take time and read my comment. both of them follow the same standard of citations. so a clever person like you should visit the citation this websites cited to verify their claim instead of relying on them.

when it comes to bias, wikipedia is not exempted, yes one of the co owner is an atheist.
